Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▼4%; Now £9.2m
Cash at bank: ▲83%; Now £176k
Headcount: ▼3%; Now 142
Deferred income: ▲50%; Now £1.1m
Fixed assets: ▼5%; Now £6.1m

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
